Israel and Hezbollah reach ceasefire, but Trump's Iran deal faces GOP pushback

A violent night in Lebanon led to a daytime ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, but the attacks derailed planned U.S.-Iran peace talks, with Vice President JD Vance canceling his trip. President Trump, who recently signed a memorandum to end the Lebanon conflict, expressed confidence in the deal despite skepticism from members of his own party and criticism comparing it unfavorably to the Obama-era Iran agreement. The situation remains fragile, with Iran warning it will not finalize the deal if fighting continues, while Trump touts his authority and faces additional controversy over remarks about Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
